A number of you have requested more bear photos from my recent trip. So here you go, this ought to give some of you bear fanatics a little fix. These bears were all killed by bowhunters the first night of their hunt, the first week Casey (the owner of Lost River Outfitters) and I were there.

<br>This was this lady's first bear. This pretty gal has also taken a number of deer, a cougar or two, and the state record bow kill moose for a woman in Montana. In short you wouldn't want her chasing you with a bow in her hand. This 18 1/2" P+Y bear couldn't of gone to a nicer person. Her, and her husband were absolutely top drawer people. Her husband (on the left) btw, is the son of the guy that owns and runs Howard Hill Archery.

<br>This young man (14 years old) on the right and his dad on the left both killed dandy bears their first night of hunting. This bear's skull was just shy of 18" and had a beautiful coat on him. When this kid shot the bear he had several bears around him and was really anxious for Casey to come and get him!

<br>Two night before this bear was killed I video taped this big bad boy at a scant 18 yards. I really should'a gone back and shot this bear, but in truth, I'm really glad this hunter shot it instead of me. I have a bear this size already and this was this hunter's first black bear. He was thrilled to say the least and the fact that his son scored on a very nice bear on the same night just made it all that much better. Just like the couple in the first photo this guy and his son were super people to be around and much deserving of their success. The bear's skull green scored at 20 12/16". That's a great bear anywhere!!!!

<br>Here's all three bears lined out side by side. What a great way to start off my 3 weeks up there. If you have debated whether to try bear hunting up there or not, these photos really ought to help you make up your mind. It was success like this for 3 weeks solid. It just doesn't get any better.
